Howden, the global insurance intermediary group, has announced the opening of a new office in Cardiff.
The new office at Regus House, Malthouse Avenue, in Cardiff Gate Business Park will build on the success of the recently inaugurated office in Swansea and Howden’s acquisition of Watkin Davies in 2020.
The expansion will be spearheaded by Gary Stevens, Regional Managing Director, who has outlined ambitious plans to position Howden as the foremost competitor in the region.
Gary said:
“I am very pleased to lead the opening of yet another office in Wales. An office in Cardiff was the natural choice for our expansion, and we are confident that by increasing our presence in South Wales by growing our team of advisors to more than 20 will enable us to continuing to provide exceptional services to our clients.”
Under Gary's leadership the new Cardiff office is set to accommodate a team of six highly skilled brokers, who will work on Howden's risk advisory services, with more brokers set to join in the coming months. The team will play a pivotal role in driving the growth of Howden’s UK Corporate & Commercial pillar throughout 2024.
Gary added:
“We've already made great headway in attracting a team of highly skilled brokers, and we anticipate significant growth throughout 2024. Our new Cardiff office, working closely with our Swansea operation, will play a key role in cementing our position as a leader in the South and West Wales commercial broking sector.
“We are very excited about our South Wales presence, and also becoming a Principal Partner of The British & Irish Lions for their forthcoming tour of Australia in 2025.”
